Longing - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

A novel of love, war, and the search for mankind's ultimate dream.

He is a European war reporter, she is a North African freedom fighter. She has killed and he has witnessed it. This is what divides them; this is what binds them together. Through a series of journeys, arguments, and stories-sometimes told by the man, sometimes told by the women-Kopperud weaves a complex narrative of longing and desire that explores our collective myths and dreams and our attempts to escape the nightmares of war and disaster.

Longing is an extraordinarily ambitious novel, marked by vivid storytelling and arresting imagery. Rooted in the real world of love and conflict, the man and the woman range the earth from South America to Tibet, at once longing for an elusive spiritual peace and fearing the loss of contact it may bring.
